Fab-u-lous

Wow ladies from the forties and fifties could sew! These two handmade dresses are so beautiful I had to put them on and feel fabulous for a couple of minutes. This gorgeous red dress was handmade in the forties by a lovely lounge singer! It has beautiful sequin and faux pearl detailing, and is shown here with a vintage fur and our great new Seychelles cut-out heels in teal suede.

This handmade stunning yellow chiffon dress with sequin details looks as good lying down on a setee as it does swingin’ around the dance floor. It is shown here with a blue silk scarf and white 80’s heels.

Petrune at the Prom

Uncategorized

We got a sweet email from a customer, and we wanted to share it with all of you! We love it when fabulous young things rock vintage looks at their proms!

Dear Petrune,

For prom this year, I wanted to stand out, but I was having trouble figuring
out what to wear. I had a dress, but it wasn’t that unique (although it fit
great) and I had cool shoes, but that’s not where I wanted people looking
the most! When I came into your store, I asked the associate if she could
help me, and she helped me to find the perfect hat and veil for it, which
completely pulled together my outfit. I got so many compliments on my hat,
it really made my night a special one.

Thanks for the helpfulness and fabulous look,

Cady Fontana

Lookin’ good Cady!

Week 2: The Commons

Uncategorized

This week we put our best foot forward with a stunning fall-inspired Pucci skirt in tones of brown and pink.

The Commons is treating us well as we start to settle into our new home; the paint is drying, we’re getting to know our neighbors, and Petrune is meeting new people every day who just can’t say enough about her. Oh the ego!

In other exciting news, this week we premiered one of our new clothing lines from Tulle: wool coats, knit tops and sweater dresses in a variety of sizes and colors compliment our expanded vintage collection. You must see for yourself…

The new Petrune location

So … we did it, we moved around the corner to a much larger location, and we filled it up in a matter of days. The move went quickly and we are now installed in our new home at 126 East State Street, the Commons. Come check out our fall collection of some of the best vintage finds ever!

Commons-bound!

Hello all! Just in case you didn’t pop in and see our large sign, you should know that Petrune is moving! Not to worry, vintage fans, we are only moving a few long strides away- to 126 The Commons! We will open on September 1st in our beautiful new space, so be sure to check out our new digs- and our new collection!

Let’s hear it for the 80s

1980-1990, Uncategorized

So many great things have come out of the 80’s. Among our favorites are The Golden Girls, Depeche Mode, and Short Circuit. So why not embrace the 80s and replace your busted mp3 player with an awesome Walkman, or dress like a sailor girl from an 80s Pall Mall ad? (Smoking is bad). Or just watch old episodes of The Golden Girls on youtube.
